The editor of this paper had the pleasure of witnessing an entertainment of Mr. Heywood's in the city of Sumter last winter, and it was one of the most delightful things he ever attended.

We* shall have more to sav next week, but we want to add that Mr. Heywood appeared last year at Winthrop, Converse, and other prominent colleges in this State, and is making dates at the same places again this season. This attests the fact that he gives an entertainment of unusual merit, and one eagerly welcomed by the most refined, intelligent and cultural people. Onr Trees Ml!

Accordingly an elevated oak ridge on Major Hays's land, in the south-eastern part of town, tc the east of the Ehrhardt telephone road, was fixed upon, and will be fitted up as a temporary camp foi patients. The camp will be securely guarded, and a tent is provided for the accommodation of the hospital orderly.

A family fisrht occurred last Sat| urday near North, in Orangeburg county, in which Mr. James A.Jeffcoat was killed by his father, Mr. R. A. Jeffcoat. A brother of the dead man also shot and wounded j him. The fatal row was the culmi-! nation of family difficulties, and | from what we can gather the facts are about as follows: .Some years ago R. A. Jeffcoat, the father, purchased a farm and hud the titles made out in his wife's ' name. Afterwards the husband and wife had some disagreement, and a ^ separation finally resulted. This also led to a division of feeling [ among the children, some taking ' their mothers part and some the father's. Then the land became a " cause of dispute, and James Jeffcoat bought it from his mother. His father still attempted to work the j land, and last Saturday morning the dead man found some of his father's I hands working thereon. He made them leave, and soon afterwards his ^ father and brother, William, appeared on the scene, armed with a shotgun and rifle, respectively. The j dead man's ante mortem statement says that his father first shot him in the thigh with the shotgun; he returned the fire with a gun, hut. ,0,1 nronfionum! then his 1IIISOCU l/IJV >'m jjV. >a w- J t brother, William, shot him with the rifle, shattering his arm; that he , then asked another brother, Grover, f who was present, not to let them shoot him again, but his father |, came right up to him and shot him e in the abdomen. The gun was loaded y with buckshot, and the wounded s man died Saturday night about ; nine o'clock. & The affair is a deplorable one, and f it is said that the family is a promir nent one in that section. o e Col.
